The Horse Collar tackle was legal in the NFL until 2005. In May of 2005 the NFL Competition Committee voted 27-5 to ban the use of the Horse Collar Tackle. The use of the Horse Collar Tackle was banned because of a number of serious injuries were caused by it's use, most notably to Philadelphia Eagles quarter back Donovan McNabb and wide receiver Terrell Owens.
